Apparently she backed into my bumper, got out looked at the damage, then sped off. No one was able to get a Tag number. It was just three months ago I had my front bumper fixed after some lady at my work ran into it with her big stupid truck, now this.
The sad thing, is June 15th will be the one year anniversary of purchasing the car new and in that time I have been door dinged twice and hit in the front bumper twice. Like all of you I am extremely cautious where I park my car but it just does not pay to have nice things around inconsiderate people! It almost makes me want to sell my Crossfire and buy a POS I don't have to worry about, like everyone else in this stupid city!
I guess now I have to make a special morning trip to the body shop to see how much this is now going to cost me to fix.
Is it possible the white paint and scrapes can be buffed out? I have been able to buff, polish and wax out stupid screw ups like this. Hate to hear it, but part of life when we have nice cars, if it's dented up thats different. The guys who help out at dealers are real good and can repair minor problems like this without the hi end cost and you will never know it happened (I know from experience...my crossifre also) looks like new again.
